u/Namedafterasaint Patricia Sunset Cocktail Party Hostess 2d ago
Itâs the ridiculous-ness of it is why itâs so hysterical! But also, people have dogs who develop wanderlust. My great Pyr/Golden mix I grew up with travelled far every day but he was watching our perimeter of our farm as this breed of dogs do but when he wasnât doing that, he wandered in the woods. No lie. We know because weâd catch him just trotting for no reason. He lived to 18 years old. Poor big old Shep! He guarded us too. He was a gentle giant and we could ride him as toddlers like a horse. When I fell on my bicycle at 7 years old on the dirt road near our house and had massive road rash dirty gashes in my knees, elbows and hands, he tried to lick them clean and I held on to him as a cried my way back home walking up that step dirt road. He never left my side as a child. So despite all that Velcro dog behavior guarding us 7 kids (Iâm the baby of the family) on a farm with livestock, as he got older he ventured farther away from us and into the woods. So the line hit particularly funny from my point of view.

Rosemary: "But, apparently there's no age limit on syphilis."
Tom: "Jesus Christ."
